Root slayer has been working hard and still in great shape!! **Q: Does anyone know if this shovel has what it takes to cut through bamboo roots. One of the hardest root system to cut through. Thanks in advance.** A: Yes, I bought the Root Slayer(red) & Nomad to help dig out bamboo rhizome roots in my backyard. Due to the tough nature of the bamboo roots, I found it's best to use the Bamboo Slayer with a block of 4x4 under the back of the blade for leverage then it becomes much easier to dig up roots. However, the smaller shovel (Nomad) was bent. I also sharpen the blade with rotary tool which helps digging and cutting a lot. **Q: How good is this for prying? Got stubborn roots.** A: Hello, The Root Slayer is certified to be 150% stronger than comparable shovels and we encourage you to use it as a pry-bar. We have redesigned the Root Slayer XL to include a metal core to reinforce the shaft. Hope this helps! **Q: Can this be used to separate banana pups from the mother corm without damaging either the corm or the pups?** A: Should do it. It's not a real thick blade but its strong so easy to get in hard to reach places. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very functional but also very heavy. *by K***A on July 3, 2026* This is a really sturdy, sharp and functional garden tool. It’s very heavy and the blades can cut through anything. However, it’s too heavy for me, so I’m gifting it to my grandson who does a lot of landscaping and could make good use of it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect shovel!! *by D***H on May 28, 2026* This shovel is an investment in my collection of the best garden tool. Radius is my new favorite brand. The design is perfect. I have given this shovel as gifts twice. Very sturdy & easy to use. Not too heavy, weight is just right. Love the teeth which cut right through the soil. Brilliant design in every way. Easy to grip and control the handle. Everyone need this shovel in your garden. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great heavy duty short handle shovel *by D***N on April 10, 2026* After digging up 25 gallons of smilax type root balls with this shovel, it does the job. Able to dig under where the root ball might be found (4-5”) with the length of the blade. Then pry the plant from the ground with hopefully the entire root ball This tool has the steel shaft which gives confidence on prying up the blade full of soil and plant. The handle length works for me at 6’. Like the extended foot rest on the blade to be able to dig in hard soil. Tool feels like a high quality product. Recommend this shovel for this type of digging. Update: 05/26 dug up over 250 gallons of rootball vines with this shovel. Better than the trenching shovel used before buying this one. ## Frequently Bought Together - Radius Garden 22011 Root Slayer Shovel, Red - Radius Garden 16011 Root Slayer, Trowel, Red - Radius Garden 16211 Root Slayer Soil Knife, Red --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/36135287-22011](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/36135287-22011) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
